1. The Standard Bundle Weight
When you purchase hair bundles, they are typically weighed at a standard 100 grams (or about 3.5 ounces) per bundle. This uniform weight ensures consistency and fairness in the hair industry, making it easier to compare bundles regardless of length. However, this weight standard creates a noticeable difference in thickness between shorter and longer bundles.
2. Why Longer Bundles Are Thinner
Here’s the key: longer bundles require more hair strands to reach their length. Imagine stretching the same 100 grams of hair over 10 inches versus 30 inches, the longer bundle needs to be spread out more, resulting in thinner wefts. Simply put, the weight is distributed over a greater length, which makes longer bundles appear less full.
3. Shorter Bundles Look Thicker
On the flip side, shorter bundles use less length to reach 100 grams, so the hair appears denser and fuller. For example, a 12-inch bundle will have more compact wefts than a 26-inch bundle, giving it a naturally thicker appearance.
4. What This Means for Your Hairstyle
When planning your hairstyle, it’s essential to consider this difference. For longer styles (20 inches or more), you may need additional bundles to achieve the same fullness as shorter styles. Typically, 2-3 bundles are enough for shorter lengths, but 4 or more may be required for longer hair, especially if you’re aiming for a voluminous look.

5. Styling Examples
- If you’re creating a sleek, straight look, longer bundles may work fine with fewer wefts.
- For bouncy curls or dramatic volume, opt for extra bundles to maintain fullness from root to tip.
